MUMBAI: Karan Tacker, who became a nationwide sensation for his power-packed performance and high-octane action in Special Ops—one of Disney+ Hotstar’s most-watched web series—has now given fans an exciting throwback. The actor shared an intense behind-the-scenes video from the shoot of his iconic dam sequence, the very moment where his character Farooq Ali takes down the antagonist in a breathtaking climax. Shot in extreme weather conditions, the BTS clip offers a raw glimpse into the sheer grit and endurance that went into bringing one of the franchise’s most talked-about scenes to life.
Calling it “the best location for a shoot – very glamorous, very nice,” Karan also confessed how physically demanding it truly was.
“We’re shooting at the most stunning location, but it’s also the toughest. From freezing temperatures to long hours in icy water – it’s challenging, but also so much fun. I just hope the magic we felt on set translated beautifully on screen,” he shared.

3 AM call time. 4°C chill. 8 hours of dam ice water therapy. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. In case you’ve missed Special Ops S2.
